Skills
My career has came full circle after interest in broadcasting while an undergraduate was substituted for teaching. During a career in Pharmaceutical Sales and Sales Managment, I took up sports broadcasting as a hobby in 1985. After 5 years of high school sportscasting, I took my skills to broadcasting college sports. In 2010 I retired from the Pharmaceutical Industry and persued a second career as an account executive and on-air personality in addition to being a sportscaster. So my passion for sports, sales and people continues to keep me busy.
